Hardcover Cover

[Back]

1. File formats

  • PDF (recommended)
  • TIFF (accepted)

2. Safety margins
In hardcover bindings, safety margins are especially important because of the cover mounting process. To prevent important elements (text, logos) from being trimmed or covered:

  • keep at least 5 mm from the outer cover edges,
  • keep at least 12 mm from the spine edge (this area is known as the hinge).

3. Cover spine
  • Spine thickness: We produce hardcover bindings with spine widths from 8 mm to 65 mm.
  • Spine text: The minimum height of letters or characters placed on the spine is 2 mm.

Use our generator, which not only calculates dimensions but also allows you to place your design directly onto a PDF template. This helps you verify that everything fits perfectly. Binding Types Generator
